Abstract

This research proposal aims to analyze the impact produced by the organization of teaching activities on the development of an innovative and entrepreneurial culture among students in research-based universities. By impacts, both quantitative (number of students engaged in entrepreneurial activities) and qualitative (entrepreneurial disposition and self-efficacy) outcomes are being considered. For doing so, a descriptive cross-sectional research methodology with a dual-track approach is proposed, analyzing approximately 285 STEM undergraduate courses offered by seven research-based universities, allocated in 15 cities with the most relevant knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship ecosystems in the state of São Paulo.
